Scheduled for May 26-27 at Simi Valley’s Rancho Santa Susanna Community Park, the roots-oriented festival prides itself on its Cajun and Zydeco beginnings. Boasting low ticket prices, ample parking and easy freeway access, the festival hosts blues on one stage, Cajun and Zydeco on the other.

Sure to be a highlight of the festival’s blues side will be a Muddy Waters tribute featuring James Cotton, Paul Oscher and other members of the late great bluesman’s band along with Waters’ son Mud Morganfield.
